CHAPTER 30

Marathon, Texas

February 16, Year 1

“I don’t see any signs. I don’t think they got shit in this town.”

The three men with leather vests drove through the small-town streets, dodging walking corpses. “Damnit, the sign says Alpine is that way. Is that town any bigger?”

“Not really. Turn around. We have to drive to Fort Stockton.”

The motorcycle club prospect who was driving turned the old van around and headed to Highway 385. He lit another cigarette off the burning end of the one he already had in his mouth, burned nearly to the filter. His gaunt face and his eyes were wild, typical of someone addicted to crystal meth. The back of the van smelled strongly of burning marijuana and gasoline fumes. Five plastic five-gallon cans of gasoline sat at the very back of the van. The thought that it might be dangerous to smoke with so much gasoline in the back of the van never occurred to the three of them, but not much ever did.

Next to the gas cans sat a crate half-full of blocks wrapped in brown paper labeled “Peno,” with an orange diamond-shaped warning placard. There was also a box with a small label indicating it held blasting caps, a box labeled as M60 Igniters, and a spool of green cabling.

The desert highway was mostly deserted, with only a few abandoned cars and an oil field truck that the van swerved around at close to eighty miles per hour. It was still well before noon when the van crossed the railroad tracks and ran the stop sign to turn onto West Railroad Avenue, continuing the northern route.

“Turn here. Something has to be on business I-10.” The van lurched left and onto West Dickinson Boulevard. The trio traveled a few blocks before the driver slammed on the brakes and turned into a parking lot of a small pharmacy. The pharmacy was more general store than medical supply, and the front window was full of merchandise.

“Bingo.”

The driver left the engine running and the three piled out of the old van. The driver carried a shotgun, the other carried an M4 rifle, and the third held a large military-style duffel bag. The driver walked up to the front door. It was locked, so he broke the glass out. All three of the men took deep breaths. The interior smelled stale but it had no smell of death, so the three climbed through the broken glass. The customer windows at the back of the store were blocked with a pull-down gate, but three quick shotgun blasts gave the three entry into the secured room via the employee door.

Ten minutes later the duffel bag was heavy with large bottles of Xanax, Viagra, and Vicodin, and every package of nasal decongestant the store contained. When they climbed back through the shattered glass at the front of the store, they found the running van had attracted six undead with the noise of the motor. The driver picked up a large rock from the parking lot and threw it through the other large window at the front of the store.
